WHO WE ARE
Founded in 2013 by Gaurav Hinduja and Sashank Rishyasringa, Capital Float is the leading Fintech lender to digital India. From financing the dynamic growth of the SMEs to offering innovative point-of-sale financing for consumers, we are leading the charge in addressing the country’s enormous credit problem.
Powered by rigorous innovation and technological advancements, and with the acquisition of India’s leading Personal Finance Management App – Walnut in 2018, we’re proud to be recognized as a trailblazer in India’s Fintech revolution. We passionately serve our customers with cutting-edge financial products and strive to help them #BreakLimits.
PROBLEMS WE SOLVE
Speed and simplicity of availing credit have perennially been pain points for the Indian borrower. While there is a dearth of finance in India, few companies have identified how to bridge the gap between finance and the end-user.
Due to decades of informal lending, a large majority of customers don’t have the necessary formal documentation to be eligible for a loan. If they do have the prerequisite documentation, they are often battling the challenges posed by the structural bureaucracy of lending in India.
Meanwhile, owing to the gargantuan geographic landscape of the country, several formal lenders are unable to cater to the financial needs of customers in tier 2 and tier 3 towns. This is where we ‘save the day’.
